Abstract excerpt
Neurofibromatosis type 1 (NF1), characterised by peripheral neurofibromas, café-au-lait spots and iris Lisch nodules, is one of the most common inherited disorders. We have analysed exons 35 to 49 in 21 unrelated NF1 patients using reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction and protein truncation analysis. In two unrelated patients we found skipping of exon 37 at the cDNA level. Sequence analysis of genomic...
